Hi Free1954.There is no Pte J. Kelleher in the Forsyth Medal Roll for the 2 / 3rd , but .......... there is a Pte R.Kelleher 45 / 768 , 2 /3rd Foot , Entitled to Medal with Clasp 1879 , KIA Inyezane ( which was the 22nd January , on the morning of the Isandlwana / Rorke's Drift Battles ) . Hope this is of some help . Cheers 90th

I'm pretty certain his grave stated J. Kelleher when I saw it back in 1991, although I appreciate what is on the Medal Roll, but Norris-Newman recording it from the official posted casualty roll also records it as James Kelleher. The DAG list in The Red Book also shows it as James Kelleher.

The London Gazette of 5th March 1879, also shows J. Kelleher. Again based on William Bellairs' report.

Because of the evidence showing J(ames) rather W. I chose to record it in They Fell Like Stones as J. Kelleher.
